Naval Reserve Links With Ncacc Program

Three academic programs at Northampton Area Community College have been approved for the Naval Reserve's new paramedical program.

Students enrolled in radiologic therapy, medical laboratory technology or funeral services, who meet the requirements and enlist in the Naval Reserve, will receive all tuition and fees.

Participants will also be eligible for the new Reserve GI Bill and other benefits related to the Naval Reserve Program, including an enlistment bonus for certain specialties, advance pay, Grade E4 on completion of the program, monthly pay for attending Naval Reserve drill meetings, federal retirement potential and commissioned officer potential.

The program is open to men and women 17-34 who are accepted as full-time students at NCACC. Students will perform active-duty training during normal school breaks and attend drills as a selected reservist for six years.
